General Information
Only 3,600 bottles are produced each year of Quinta das Carvalhas 20 Year Old Tawny Porto, a classic from Quinta das Carvalhas, the most spectacular estate of Real Companhia Velha, a Portuguese winemaking institution founded in 1756.
Crafted from the fruit of old vines of native varieties, planted on the slopes of Pinhão on the left bank of the Douro River, Quinta das Carvalhas 20 Year Old Tawny Porto is the result of blending selected oportos from different harvests, which were fermented in traditional lagares, after the grapes were foot-trodden. The final coupage, aged for 20 years in oak barrels through a long and careful process, surprises with its rich and complex aromatic palette and a smooth, refined palate. Enjoy all its qualities on its own or paired with almond pastries, dark chocolate desserts, and blue cheeses. Exquisite.
